Coffee Portafilter Puck Screen, 100μm 1.7mm Espresso Portafilter Lower Shower Screen, Reusable Puck Filter Contact Screen Coffee Accessories(53.5mm)

Compared to another one I purchase this screen has sharper edger making it less comfortable to hold and use. with that said it does the job.

This little puck has managed to keep my espresso head unit free of debris. I no longer have to clean out the machine every single time I use it. Its very easy to wash and does not seem to clog up. It did end up getting dented slightly as my machine has a screw in the very center of the head unit but it doesn't seem to affect its use.

I had higher hopes for this mesh screen. First time using one. I wanted to avoid "backup" of coffee grounds in my Delonghi EC685 espresso machine that had been slowing or stopping waterflow. The good? It works and does even out the consistency of the shot and puck (Let's Go Rangers btw - see what I did there?). The bad? It didn't have much if any effect on stopping the buildup of grounds inside the initial mechanism where waterflows and it seemed to make the shots slightly weaker. I went back to no mesh screen. That said...this is with a portafilter unit. It may work better with a bottomless portafilter but for me the jury is out. I'll keep the screen on hand but it's not a shot on goal.

Works as advertised. It added a lot to my espresso-making process because it is the first puck screen I have used. Very satisfied.

Well, I’m no pro, and am not really sure what the purpose is, but bought anyway to give a go. I’m noticing no difference in my shots, but perhaps you know better technique, so yeah, it fits the filter, sits on top, and there you go. Now it sits in the cupboard, but that’s probably on me, not the device.But make no mistake, it is no different than more expensive offerings. 3 stars only because I think it’s “gimmicky” and serves no real purpose.

I didn’t work for what a I need it! The coffe still spill

These are super thick pads and I'm not sure if the water pressure can properly run through your coffees. It also affects the amount of crema, making the coffee less deep.

It does not improve distribution like I had hoped but it does keep grounds off the head
